Sunborn Gibraltar

We had an excellent stay at the Sunborn in Gibraltar. The hotel is perfectly positioned, just a short walk from the Ocean Village restaurants and the town centre. The hotel itself is stunning and lived up to all of our expectations. The buffet breakfast was outstanding, the full English was especially delicious! On our first night, we had a small issue with the air conditioning, but the reception team handled it brilliantly. They moved us to another room, which not only solved the problem but also gave us a quieter night’s sleep, as it was on the shaded side of the hotel. Overall, we loved every minute of our stay and are already planning a return visit in 2026.

My sister and I went for a 4 night break, alas whilst Gibraltar was experiencing a heatwave! We had a lovely room on 5th deck overlooking runway, which to be honest wasn't an issue with noise, as daytime we were out and no late/early departures. I think only 4-6 flights a day, depending on day of the week. Air-conditioning on board was heaven. We had no issue with ours. Aqua Bar was fun especially during the happy hour, also Barbury which had air conditioning. Ate in the Gastropub a couple of nights which was fantastic but be warned portions are big. Breakfast is a feast. Everything you could wish for. Wish I had a bigger appetite to enjoy what was on offer. Lol 😆. Ocean village is surrounded by other bars and restaurants if you want to venture out but we generally stayed on board. If I had to be picky it would be the lack of sunbeds and size of pool. Not easy to get in and out due to setting of the steps. There are also deck chairs but no shade. We generally went to the other end where you could get a small amount of shade. Pity there wasn't room for a small jacuzzi just to cool off. Other than that overall a really lovely and luxurious stay.

Good. My PET ERROL enjoyed it. I didn’t, for obvious reasons. The bar makes good drinks for ERROL. Until next time, say bye ERROL, “BBBBBYYYYYEEEE”

The Sunborn Gibraltar has changed immeasurably since we started staying here pre Covid. They have clearly brought in management consultants to cut costs. Breakfasts are poor, staff morale is at an all time low, with an absolutely awful new manager put in place who has zero customer service know-how whatsoever. I forget her name but she is often in reception with long hair in a pony tail and is beyond rude to guests, me included. The atmosphere here has hardened, Aircon in rooms does not work, the place generally is run down. The reluctance to offer perks that have been long offered to returning guests is simply insulting. Saying all this, I say that Gabriel, Carlos and Nacho in the Barbary are excellent. Just a shame the rest aren’t.

Wonderful from start to finish. Beautiful hotel yacht in great location.Lovely breakfast with fantastic staff. Great room
